Fenhopi Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 On Facebook, when you click on "view friends" on one of your friends' profile, a window pops up. Is that made with PHP? Or is it flash or something? In case it's PHP, what would you use to make something like that? Thank you in advance!

mentalist Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 If you wanted to do your own it'd basically be JS and AJAX. (the back-end would probably be PHP) Facebook have their own API with their own variations of stuff. Have a look for prebuilt JS libraries like JQuery, mootools Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/216786-does-facebook-use-php-for/#findComment-1126224 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Little Guy Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 When you click on the box, Ajax loads your friends into a javascript array, and then when you type it searches the array using JavaScript populating the fancy drop down box with related matches to your search.
